A Word About Catarrh.

1T is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi
fluid evelOpe surrounding the delicate tissues of the
air and food passages that Csarrh makes its strong-
hold; once established it eats into the very vitas
and renders life but long-drawn breath of misery
and disease dulling the of hearing, trammel-
ling the power of speech destroying the faculty of
SMELL tainting the breath and killing the refined
pleasures of taste; insdiously by creaping on from
simple cold in the head, it assails the membranous
lining and envelopes the bones, eating through the
delicate coats and causing Inflammation. sloughing
and death; nothing short of total eradication will
secure health to the patient and all alternative are
simply procrastnated sufferings leading to fatal
termination. Sanfords Radical cure, by inhalation
and by internal administration, has never failed;
even when the disease has made frghtful inroads
delicate constitutions, hearing smell and taste have
been recovered and disease thorougly driven out"
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase Of
Catarrh from a simple head cold to the most loath-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and consti-
tudonal Instant in relieving, permanent in curing
safe, economical and never-fai1ing.

READER, when you hear follower of
the Gazette mention the alleged omis-
sions or commissions of the Commits
sioners, show him the formidable indict-
ment of crimes and misdemeanors here
tofore printed in these columns. ask
him to study it, and call his attention to
the fact that there has been no attempt
at defense upon the part of any one int
terested, that all concerned have, prsc+
tically, entered plea of guilty. and call
his attention to the fact that the honest
people of the county. because of the
abuses enumerated, have lost pile of
money.
The CHRONICLE stands upon solid
ground concerning these specifications,
and challenges the most thorough scru!
tiny of them,

THE appalling railroad disaster in H.
linois is the greatest calamity of the
kind in history. Over one hundred dead
bodies have been taken from the wreck
and the wounded reach nearly three
hundred. About nine hundred persons
were on the train. Many of the dead
were shockingly mutilated, the scenes
about the wreck we're sickening in the
extreme, and the city of Peoria is filled
with woe and lamentation.
There is littls doubt the bridge

and fifteen feet wide-wss fired by burn
ing grass at either end, aud that capa-
BILE watchman would have averted the
calamity.

THE Gazette persists In printing and
giving currency TO accusations against
the County Commissioners that have
time and again been disproyed. and
which are of trifiing Importance as com
pared with the serious allegations
against ex>Auditor Barrett, Clerk Cash
and the publisher of the Gazette. which
are utterly ignored by that paper.
These columns will bear witness that
we have met, and we think successfully
controverted. every accusation made
against the Commissioners. and that we
have sought.to evade nothing. We re-
cognize the fact that the people of the
county are an intelligent people, and
that the masses of them mean to do
right In voting. as In other matters.
Throughout the summer We have dis
cussed county affairs with that opinion
steadily in view, and especially with a
view that public attention should be so
centered upon our county administra-
ton that like abuses would be prevent
ed in the future.
No fair r-minded man who has had the
opportunity to see the two papers, and
is advised of the facts, but must admit
that the course pursued BY the Gazette
is selfish and wholly mercenary, ,sUd that
its teachings sustain and uphold the
abuses from which the people are suffer
ing. Not one to which public attention
has been directed but it has defended
and upheld. They have cost the people
pile of money, and il they are not cor
reeted other piles must go into the pock
cts of corrupt men, to be used in de-
bauching men, that like abuses may be
perpetusted.
Without regard to party. men who do
not expect to profit by these abuses (and
very few do), should carefully examine
the dOiDgs of county officers against
whom serious charges of maladmin-
istration are made. and OF the gang
that upholds them, and then in the
future act at elections in such way as
will better local government, the morals
of the people, and their own pocket
books. 1t is notorious fact that two
men upon the socalled Democratic
ticket of last fall who did more to cor
rupt and debsuch the people than have
any two men in the history of the county,
gy, had the support of many of the cler-
and of men who are crying out against
the saloon influence and against corrup-
tion in politics.
The people have the remedy in their
own hands. 1t is not to be found in a
third party, but, instead, in a careful in
spection Of the character and methods of
nominees of the two great parties. aud a
choice between them. This is the rational
remedy; and once the managers of par>
ties understand refsrmers are acting
stersly and intelligently upon that theo-
ry, greater care will be used in making
nominations, and no candidate for Office
will dare risk questionable methods to
get votes.

The primaries for the election of del
egates to the county convention will be
held two weeks from Saturday. Repre-
sentative Poorman announces that "he
is not candidate for any Office. and de-
sires to be left alone to the management
of his business" This will leave two
places on the ticket to be filed. besides
candidates for Prosecuting Attorney
and Coroner. Mr.. A. T. McKelyey has
developed surprising strength, and there
is little doubt that he will be easi-
ly nominated. For the other place, Mr..
Pearson is exhibiting strength in the
river townships. especially. and Mr..
Mechem, Mr.. Taylor. and Mr.. Fisher are
favorably considered in various parts of
the county. For Prosecuting Attorney,
public opinion seems to be crystalzing
in favor of Mr.. w. F. Smith, of Barnes
vile.
1t is an encouraging sign to witness
the interest the public is taking in the
ticket to be nominated, and augurs much
good to the cause.

painful breaking out of the skin; we called in q
physician who treated him for about four weeks;
the child received little good from the treat
ment, as the breaking out supposed by the physi-
clan to be hives in aggravated FORM became lar
ger in blotches. and more and more distressing we
were frequently obliged to get up in the night and
rub him with soda water, strong hniments, ETC.;
finally, we called other physicians, until no less
and the child steadily getting and worse until
about the 10th of last July, when we began to give
and Cuticura Soap internally, and by the last of
August he was nearly well that we gave him only
one dose of the Resolvent about every second day
for about ten days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady: In all, we
used less than one-haf of bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent little less than one box of Cuticura, and
